Robert had been transported to Sydney Australia along
with his Father Jonathan Lock on "The Granada" as convicts, they came from Larling Norfolk England in 1820.

We have recently found out that Roberts brother John
had also been transported out here as a convict, it's not known if Robert and Jonathan were aware of this.We have just made
contact with some of his family.

Maria died on 6th July 1878 at Blacktown and she now rests in St. Bartholomews
Church of England at Prospect. Like many of our family, there is no headstone to mark exactly where
she is.
